At the beginning of September, although it is not yet winter, the cool air in the early morning breeze has already entered the clothes. The soldiers guarding the city gate were hunched over, holding spears with rusty spear heads, as if they were about to shrink their entire bodies into tattered mandarin duck battle jackets. The clothes of the leading soldier Lao Lu are better, and they are also patched in many places.

In the first year of Hongwu, the clothes were made, and the appearance and the inside were different colors, which was called the mandarin duck battle jacket and the new army number. Twenty-one years, the flag bearer guard sergeant and wrestler all wore red jackets, and the rest of the guards wore the same jackets. All jackets, knee-length, narrow sleeves, and cotton inside. Twenty-six years, so that the knight wore a cardigan, easy to ride a horse also.

Lao Lu stared at everyone who passed in front of him, and if he dared not to pay the city gate tax, he would beat him up first. Even if Lao Tzu Niang has to pay it, he won't let himself go if he pays less. Not long after the gates were opened, a layer of copper coins was laid under the basket containing the money.

Seeing that the harvest was good, Lao Lu had a smile on his face, and he began to laugh with his subordinates. While they were talking, billowing smoke and dust appeared in the distance. The head of the soldier felt the shaking of the ground, and there was no warning from the castle tower, it should be a caravan or something.

Liaocheng is the governance of Dongchang Prefecture, the geographical location is very important, and it is an important place for the two capitals. Benefiting from the prosperity of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, Dongchang Mansion has become one of the nine major commercial ports along the river and is known as "a metropolis in the north of the Yangtze River". Dongchang was prosperous, but it also became the target of "thieves" to plunder. In the first year of Chenghua, "Qingfeng thief Ma Feng led troops to plunder Dongchang"; In the first year of Jiajing, "Qingzhou stole and robbed Dongchang". I have to guard against it!

The "caravan" is gradually approaching, and the head flag bearer holds a big flag, with four big characters written on it, and the small characters below indicate "No. 3 Lu Shi", which is the convoy of Gao Gongzi of the Liaoning Chamber of Commerce. In recent years, Liaoning goods have become popular, selling well all over the country, and the proprietors of the Liaoning Chamber of Commerce have made generous moves, and they have the support of the Heguo Mansion and the Liaoning Government behind them, so they have to stammer.

The caravan walked to the city gate, and the head of the soldiers saw the caravan clearly. The caravan consisted of more than thirty or forty wagons, all of which were filled with sacks of grain, and the ruts were very deep. Dozens of heavily armed guards rode around the convoy, perhaps approaching the city, and the guards had relaxed their vigilance, chatting or singing in a relaxed manner. The guards of the caravan included Han Chinese, Jurchens, Chao Xian people, and even Japanese people, all of whom were good sons of good families with Ming household registration, although fierce, they were also law-abiding.

The owner of the caravan, Gao Gongzi, followed behind the standard-bearer and gave the caravan a front station. Gao Gongzi is anxious about his own business, and he has always done it himself, and he came out at a young age to do business. I remember that when Gao Gongzi came to Liaocheng for the first time, Lao Lu thought that he was young and easy to bully, and wanted to embarrass him and beat Qiu Feng, but was beaten half to death by Gao Gongzi's men.

When the official army surrounded the caravan, Gao Gongzi slowly took out the Liaoning Hucao's confession, official seal and road guide. It's amazing, this kid turned out to be a seven-grade civil official, who specially went to Liaoning to the Central Plains to buy grain! The status of the warriors of the Ming Dynasty is extremely low, and although the garrison stationed in Changping Mansion is from the fifth grade, it must also be respectful and honest in front of the seven-rank civil officials.

Lao Lu was beaten in vain, so he had to admit it. Lao Lu is honest, Gao Gongzi is not embarrassed by him, every time he goes in and out, he gives him more wine money, the real you respect me, I respect you, and I am very angry. Although Gao Gongzi is a civil official, he also looks like a martial artist.

Lao Lu hurriedly squeezed out a smile similar to crying, and stepped forward to greet Gao Gongzi. "Tall man, the little one is saying hello to you. Is business going well? Gao Gongzi threw a package, "I divided it with the brothers." With that, he went straight into the city.

Lao Lu then wrapped it and weighed it, my obedient girl, there are twenty taels. When I opened it, it was scattered silver, full color! Lao Lu's smile was even bigger, and he had a fight with his dead father, and he thanked Gao Gongzi one by one, and he couldn't see Gao Gongzi anymore. The caravan does not need to be inspected, and it can go directly into the city.

……

In the warehouse of the Liaoning Chamber of Commerce, Gao Yingchun, the prince of Gao, commanded his subordinates to divide the official silver from the grain bags, and drank and chatted with Wang Sen Wang Dasect Master. Gao Yingchun's seven-grade official body is also used to deceive people in the mainland, and he has another official position in Liaoning.

"Xiao Gao! I didn't expect you to be so young and really ruthless! The tax money in Shanxi and Henan has really been snatched back. Tsk, a full 100,000 taels of silver! Generous, generous! Back in Liaoning, the rewards are incredible! "That is, I want to let my family live a good life and let my parents enjoy it." Sect Leader Wang, you are not bad, your name of smelling incense and paying homage to the Buddha has spread along the Grand Canal, and tens of thousands of believers have donated a lot of food and property to you, right? Don't laugh at me. ”

"Brother, I really don't laugh at you, Brother Xian, you were killed with a real knife and a real * shot right away, with real skills. Mine is a lotus flower with a tongue, and eats with one mouth. Moreover, what pyramid marketing model, what disaster * difficulty, what brainwashing, but they were all taught by Li Daren (Li Sicheng) and Kim Zhenghao (Kim Jung-ho), so I just followed it. Uh, by the way, Master Xiao Li (Li Siwei) asked me to remind you, think about it again, and then think about whether there are any flaws left. ”

"Let me think about it, when I robbed Shanxi tax silver, I sent ninjas to put *sweat* medicine in the food at the post station, and I had already confirmed the number of people at the post station and the escort, and there was not one less, and they were all wiped out. The grain brought with them was given to the horses who helped, and then the tax money was loaded into grain bags and transported back, and the amount was the same as that of the road guide, so as not to arouse suspicion. When trading with Xiangma, Fan Ming's subordinates were allowed to come forward, and even if the government suspected, it could only suspect Xibei and Shanxi Lao Jiao......"

"What about Henan?!" "I directly let people release the rumors, saying that it was the governor of Henan who transported potato seedlings into Beijing, and wanted to let the Huangzhuang in Zhili plant them next year. As a result, several teams of Xiangma immediately united to besiege the convoy and grab seedlings. In the end, the horse suffered heavy casualties and returned in vain. When they leave, I'll let our men pretend to be ringing horses and attack the convoy again. The officers ran out of bows and arrows, and we shot them all from afar. We left before the arrival of the official reinforcements, hid in Kaifeng, and waited for the wind to ease before returning. The Henan government chased the previous batch of ringing horses everywhere, and they didn't pay attention to us at all. And we cut off the heads of all the corpses on the spot, so that they were dead and there were no living mouths. ”

"I promise that there are no flaws on my side. Turn your head and let Lord Duan repay Lord Xiao Li. Eh, brother, how are you doing over there? Tell me about my little brother? "Hehe, I really didn't expect those officials to be so easy to deceive! It's really Ma Daren (Ma Youcai) who said it well, 'If you don't say it, no one will believe it'. I pretended to be a high-ranking monk, saying that I was the 49th reincarnation of the Buddha's throne and the 36th successor of the mantle of Zen Buddhism, and that I was the messenger of the "Great Day Buddha". Threatening to leak the secret seal I gave will despise the Dharma protectors of the heavens and cut off their own lives, but they are really honest and obedient. Haha, laughing to death! He also gave away all the money and food in his family, and felt that it was not enough, so he dared to take out the things in the official warehouse! Ha ha...... Uh, by the way, brother, do you want to play with Miss Guanjia?! Brother, I've got you covered, okay? ”

"Is there such a good thing? How? "When they were all confused, I told those officials that the dual cultivation of women and me can quickly improve their cultivation, enhance their mana, and enable people to reach the highest level of learning Buddhism and become immortals. Jumping out of the Three Realms, not in the Five Elements. As a result, those officials and masters really sent their wives and concubines and daughters over one by one to double cultivate with me! It's so cool! If you also want to have fun, I will say that you are the reincarnation of a good wealth boy, and you can double cultivate...... Hehehe......"

"Then I'll thank my brother first. Hahaha......"
